Napoli are pushing ahead with their summer transfer campaign and have set their sights on Gabriel Jesus (29), the Brazilian striker from Arsenal, aiming to bolster their attacking line ahead of the new season.

Napoli closing in on Gabriel Jesus signing

According to renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Napoli’s management is fully aware of the conditions required to get the deal over the line. Talks have already taken place between Napoli and Arsenal to assess the feasibility of the transfer.

Romano notes that the Italian club is capable of reaching an agreement with Arsenal, but finalizing the deal hinges on two key factors:

securing a definitive agreement with Gabriel Jesus over his wages and continuing the squad clear-out, following the recent departure of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.

The transfer guru highlights that the main stumbling block remains the salary demands of the Brazilian international. Napoli are now working to find common ground with the player on contract terms while also seeking to offload several squad members to alleviate the wage bill.

Finally, Fabrizio Romano reports that negotiations are ongoing and Gabriel Jesus is one of Napoli’s top priorities to reinforce their attacking options before the new campaign kicks off.
